I know Honda has many things in the R&D pipeline, but obviously they are playing it conservative with new models (just one MX dirt bike) in these uncertain economic times! It may also be that these are early releases, and we might see some mid-year releases later on (?).

I tested a prototype for Honda, and it was a very unique, well thought out, well designed concept that should appeal to a large percentage of the market. This thing will sell well, once it comes to market! But....retooling for a new model is a huge expense, and if you are not going to be able to recoup that investment very quickly, it makes no business sense when sales are slow. On the other hand, you don't want to be so conservative that you get caught sitting on your thumbs either, when the market finally does trun around.....
